When he ran for President in 1984, the Rev. Jesse Jackson spoke at San Francisco State. I went with a very Reagan-friendly friend. At one point in his speech, the Rev’s passion got everyone on their feet cheering - including my friend. Afterwards, my friend was pumped. A magical moment. RIP

This is, essential me, trying to get a sophomore to stop speaking when I am trying to give instructions in class.

The Film class is gonna be watching this tomorrow.

If Garo Yepremian doesn't make that goof, Miami goes 17-0 with a shutout in Super Bowl VII. Has he suited up for the Seahawks tonight? The Pats sure hope so...

My dad took me to Super Bowl VII at the LA Coliseum in 1973. I believe the halftime entertainment was Up with People.

Reminder: Vance killed Pope Francis. Bad things happen when he’s in Italy.

Lola Heatherton was the absolute best. #RIPCatherineOHara

I preferred TDKs and Maxells, TBH. Realistic Chrome was also a great option from Radio Shack.

@markcousinsfilm.bsky.social thank you so much for the follow back. I’m really excited about this new series. I’ve shown several excerpts of The Story of Film to my high school film studies class and find your work invaluable.

What a badass. An exceptional human being.

Got myself a little #physicalmedia this fine day 🎥📽️🎬

Much truths skeeted here…

Had one of the highlights of my career today: Saturday field trip to #noircity23! A heartfelt and special thanks to @eddiemuller.bsky.social & all at @noirfoundation.bsky.social for welcoming my students and showing them that black & white and Bogie & Bacall will always be cool!

Took my Film Studies students on a field trip today to the Pacific Film Archive in Berkeley to see In the Mood for Love…and it was a good day. 🎥📽️🎬

I timed it - Ann Savage is in Detour for only 30 minutes. She does not waste a single frame that she’s in. It don’t get any better than that. 🎥📽️🎬 #filmnoir

www.independent.co.uk/arts-enterta... RIP to a great one. I always knew with Elle I was going to be treated to a great recipe on ATK. I’m really going to miss what she bright to the show.

I detect a theme.

boxd.it/cn8ou9 The @flicker-alley.bsky.social bluray restorations of the @laurelandhardy.bsky.social pre-1930s silent movies have been amazing. This restoration of their first soundie is just a fantastic. Long live #physicalmedia! 🎬🎥📽️

Highlights: I completed the reading of Remembrance of Things Past and all of Shakespeare’s plays.

Saying goodbye to 2025 like

@flicker-alley.bsky.social I love love love my new copy of L&H Year 3 set. I have a question: are the silent versions of Perfect Day and Men o’ War lost? There’s no meeting of either one in the liner notes. Either way, thank you for all you have done!

I’ll be busy for awhile. #filmsky @laurelandhardy.bsky.social 🎬🎥📽️

Four reasons why College football is ridiculous: 1. Go Bowling Military Ball 2. Wasabi Fenway Bowl 3. Bad Boy Mowers Pinstripe Bowl 4. Pop Tarts Bowl And it’s only December 27. What a joke.

Just finished my yearly Christmas read of “Small Things Like These” and jesus that’s a beautiful book.

@americastestkitchen.com I just made the Soup Joumou recipe from the Jan/Feb 2026 CI issue and…my goodness. One of the best soups I’ve yet made from y’all. Thank you, and Happy Holidays!

Showed up on my Amazon account. I feel like my algorithm there really sees me.

#NoirCityChristmas at the Grand Lake tonight. The feature: “I Wouldn’t Be in Your Shoes.” A splendid evening, and I got to meet the man himself.

www.theguardian.com/film/2025/no... I have a tag on Letterboxd that says “poorly lit 21st century films.” I hate this idiotic trend. 🎬📽️🎥

Aqaba, Charlie Brown.

Probably not a HOFer. But he is my all time favorite player. www.sfchronicle.com/sports/giant...

I’m not saying I’m voting for him. But he is the only California gubernatorial candidate I’ve ever taken a picture with.

RIP Tatsuya Nakadai 🎬📽️🎥

I saw this in 1986 and, if I had to, I’d stand in line 2025 or 26 to see it again.

Wowsa. What a series.
